Version mismatch #2447

Closed liar666 closed 6 years ago

liar666 commented 6 years ago

Hi,

On the page: https://qupzilla.com/ when I click "Download [version 2.1.2]" then select "Ubuntu", I read: Ubuntu (and other Ubuntu-based linux distros) users can install QupZilla by running these commands sudo apt-get install qupzilla But this installs version 1.x which is more than outdated and cannot open many sites.

I've found a page that explains how to compile manually 2.x ( https://www.linuxhint.com/install-qupzilla-browser-linux/ ) , but then updating to a new version is more than annoying, particularly on a distro that is supposed to have the ease of using packages...

I thought I reported this issue on the launchpad, but I cannot find the entry anymore...

So what you expect here!? Somebody to compile QupZilla especially for your distribution, when you even did not describe which version is it...

And just IMO:

... supposed to have the ease of using packages...

That's just an ad trick, such like in any other commercial garbage.

For a start, that the qupzilla website stops its "commercial garbage", and does not announce that version 2.1.2 can be installed on Ubuntu by using apt-get install...

Then don't use outdated distribution if you want up-to-date software?
